Lots of rich people don’t send their kids to private school for all sorts of reasons.[/quote]

+1.  I've actually noticed that there seems to be a trend where parents who attended private school end of sending their kids to public school, and vice versa.  (The exception is for Catholic schools, where families seem to continue the tradition with each generation.)

I notice the opposite.  Those who attended private school send their kids to private because it’s what’s familiar.  DH and I were both lifers at private.  We seriously considered sending our kids to “top” elementary until we took a tour.  It was so different from any educational environment I had experienced, the facility lacked warmth and felt institutional, the classes were crowded with close to 30 kids, the cafeteria was chaotic and the food looked disgusting, the playground wasn’t very nice.  The principle wasn’t welcoming and I got the impression she’d be happy if everyone on the tour chose another option so she had fewer kids at her school. [/quote]

This is confirmation bias at its finest. You were only looking for the bad things in the public school. You saw what you believed. [/quote]
